TO ALL WHOM IT MAY'CONGERN: A v

Be it known that I, CHARLES RErsrLn, of Brooklyn, in-the county ofKings, and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use, acertain new and useful Improvement in TumblePHolders;l and I do herebydeclare the following to be a. full, clear, and exact description ofsaid invention, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making partof this specification, which represents- A section of my holder asapplied to a tumbler. l

In the drawing, a is a. tumbler, b the handle. c e is aring, soldered tothe lower part of the handle. d is a projection, permanently attached tothe handle, to which is secured, by a pin, a button, e. v v

The object of my invention is to produce a holder for soda-watertumblers, which shall have a handle, and

lwhich can be attached to a tumbler quickly, and rmly, and' that can bemanufactured at a comparatively small a Cost.

In drawing soda-water, it very frequently overtlowsthe tumbler, makingit `impossible to handle thetumbler without soiling the hands; blut,with my improved holder, that ditiiculty is entirely overcome, as thehandle which I provide sets off from and above the tumbler.

Holders for tumblers'have been made, but they are large and occupy agreat deal of room, and have a much greater surface to be cleaned thanthose made on my improved plarr, arid cost considerably more to-manufacture.

I make my handle, t, ofGerman silver, brass, orany other material, towhich is soldered a. ring, c o, which is made flaring, so that it willit the sides of a tumbler. d is a projection, which ts on the top edgeof the tumbler, to which projection is xed a movable button, e, whichworks on the pin f, whieh,"when pressed down, retainsthe tumbler'in theholder. v

To attach my holder to' a. tumbler, it isonly necessary to place thebottom f the tumbler in ring c e and press the projection d over the topedge ofthe tumbler, having previously raised the 'button e, and then, byturning the button down, it will be seen that it is impossible to removethe handle without turning the button,

and if a tumbler should be broken in use, it willrequirc but a. momentof time to fit the samehandle/ to another tumbler.

l The helder .can be made ornamental by engraving or chasing, and, whenplated and. burnished, will tend t0 give the tumbler a handsomeappearance.

' VMy improved holder will be found very convenient to be used ontumblersv in which hot drinks are served.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is A tumbler-holder, having a handle, b, ringc e, projection d, and button e, in substantially the manner describedand shown, and for the purposes set forth.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my signature, this thirteenthday of March, in' the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred andsixty-eight. I
